Over the past few weeks our older children have started visiting the primary1 shared area. This is the start of their transition to primary 1. The children enjoyed building with Lego, finding letters and numbers in the porridge, playing in the Chinese restaurant and dressing up.

Some of our older children have had the opportunity to take part in the Play on Pedals scheme with Mrs Garden. This scheme has been introduced for pre-school children in some nurseries in Aberdeen. The purpose of this scheme is to support children as they develop their skills on balance and pedal bikes. As they progress through this programme they learn about the parts of the bike, being safe, how to improve their balance and using brakes, all through playing games. All children have shown an improvement in their confidence and ability using balance bikes. Our next Play on Pedals programme will begin after the mid-term.

Please take a minute to look at the children’s book documenting their progress.

Today our focus for outdoor learning was to find lots of 2d shapes in our nursery garden and in the school grounds. The children worked with a partner working collaboratively using clipboards to record the shapes they found. The children used tally marks and totalled up the shapes found at the end of the activity. The children were very focused throughout this activity and showed great enthusiasm spotting the shapes.

I enjoy investigating objects and shapes and can sort, describe and be creative with them. MTH 0-17a

It was a very cold frosty morning so lots of movement today, all the children keeping themselves safe on the equipment, trying out new skills or playing with old favourites. Great co-operative play, turn taking and keeping themselves warm.
